Ciguatera fish are better fished from April to August.

One of the first things you need to know before fishing for Mandarin fish is the weather, and depending on the weather, you can choose the most suitable time to fish. Among the many factors of weather, temperature is a very important one.

When fishing under the right temperature conditions, Mandarin fish will be more active and the fishing harvest will be better. Specifically, the best temperature for Mandarin fish fishing is between 18-28℃. When the temperature is between the optimal temperatures, Mandarin fish will be more comfortable, they will be more active in the water, and food will be a bit more attractive to them.

Life Habits

Chiniperca chuatsi is a completely freshwater fish, preferring to live in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other bodies of water where the water plants are lush and clean, generally lurking on the bottom of the water during the day, and then moving around at night to forage for food. Do not like to make long-distance wandering and migration, do not like to live in groups.

Life of the appropriate water temperature 15 ~ 32 ℃. However, some scholars have shown that within the range of 10 to 25 ℃, with the rise in temperature, Mandarin fish specific growth rate increases with the rise in temperature, but between 25 to 35 ℃ there is no significant change, to reach the water temperature of 35 ℃, Mandarin fish growth has not seen a significant slowdown.

This is inconsistent with the general findings on the relationship between fish and water temperature, i.e., within a certain temperature range, the feeding rate and growth rate of fish increase with increasing water temperature, and when the water temperature exceeds the optimum water temperature, the feeding rate and growth rate of fish will instead decrease, which suggests that the optimum growth temperature of Mandarin fish may be broader.
